Well, I'm back in Iowa and am having the time of my life. So far we have seen the4th of July celebration, the annual town party, went swimming, watched the final softball game of the season, and celebrated my 50th birthday. The pictures that are posted are from my birthday, where Trudy's sister took it upon herself to capture all of my many expressions, some I didnt realize I had. It was a great party, one I won't soon forget.

I will soon beable to start my painting and digital designs again, so I hope to see you all here.

Welcome to how I view the world and all of its dimensions

A little about myself

The best way I can describe myself and my passion, is simply the word ART. I love everything about the word and all that it involves. Not only do I enjoy creating new artwork through my expressions and ideals, I find pleasure in doing so. They're so many aspects to art and different methods to achieve something beautiful, that I could never get bored. However, they're times I get flusterated, but never stop loving the ART.
Beyond that, I was born and raised In New York City, New York. I call the Manhattan area, the concrete jungle. The tall skyscraper that surrounds me practically from every other corner of a block reminds me of gigantic trees reaching for the sky.
Art is my passion. I’m from the old school; however, I have opened myself up to new experiences with different mediums and technology. I enjoy working with acrylics, its my favorite and at times most challenging. My recent passion has involved digital 3-D art, it's a whole different realm compared to traditional mediums.
